STOCKTON - A man was arrested and had to be restrained after getting into a violent struggle with police Friday, authorities said.

Officers responded to the 8000 block of West Lane about 4:35 p.m. on a report of two men who were intoxicated and refusing to leave, police said. When officers arrived, one of the men ran.

The man was apprehended following a brief foot chase, but the man began to fight with officers when they tried to handcuff him, authorities said.

Additional officers responded to the scene to help take the man into custody. When placed in the back of a police car, he began kicking the windows, officers said. The man was then removed from the car and placed in a Safe WRAP restraint device, which immobilizes a person's legs and waist.

Jack Knight, a 36-year-old parolee at large, was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest and being drunk in public, authorities said.

STOCKTON - Community Response Team officers and members of the multiagency San Joaquin County gang task force got into a brief vehicle pursuit after trying to make a traffic stop about 10 p.m. Friday in the 3100 block of East Main Street, police said.

The driver initially pulled over but then accelerated, leading officers on a short pursuit that reached speeds of 40 mph, authorities said. The driver pulled over less than a mile into the chase and attempted to flee on foot, but he was wrestled to the ground and taken into custody, police said.
